Theme: Beach
If you aren’t a regular reader of my blog, then you might not know that I’ve been preparing for my daughter’s mermaid party all week. So I’ve got mermaids on the brain!! When I saw this photo of my niece from last summer, of course had to use it as my Beach entry!! My kids wouldn’t let me create sand art from them, luckily my sweet niece did:-)
If you want to see photos from the mermaid party, they’re online now! It turned out so cute, the girls (and big brothers) had lots of fun.
I LOVE sand castles! If I could pick between going to a fancy art museum or a sand castle making contest… the sand would win hands down! ha. What’s the best sand art you’ve seen or created?
I’m a co-founder of I ? Faces and only joining in this photo challenge for fun!
Come on over and enter a photo or at least take a look at all the fun entries:-)

What a great capture! I love the way she’s posing for the shot too. I can’t imagine my kids ever having the patience to sit still for something like this.

love it. she’s a doll.
my favorite sand art are the day to day things that the kids make up while playing …
mmm… a birthday cake …
or
a princess’ castle that consists of an upside downed bucket of sand.
although the huge sand castles are pretty neat too.

I’m going to the beach tomorrow for the rest of the week and I really hope I get to do something like this for my 3yr old.. you know, if she sits still. doubt it.
Great shot.

Hi Amy,
I am new to iheartfaces and just wanted to say what great work you guys are doing! I just found your group on Facebook and what I have seen and read so far looks great!
Your photograph is very cute! I love sand castles and other sand constructions… unfortunately, my kids did not inherit my love! So, no sand castle photos from me…
I like how your niece is trying to strike up a pose even though she is stuck in the sand!
